OPEN GAMBLING “r. yj OW much open gambling is goiug on in Indianapolis?” a |ii| reader of The Times asks. It is a pertinent question. . . Recently a man was shot during a hold-up at a gambling game. , Before the election it was no trouble whatever to obtain the odds on any candidate. It was no trouble to find bets posted in the downtown district. It was no trouble to place bets. Every week there is plenty of betting on football games. Places at which bet* are publicly posted are not hard to find. Gambling is a violation of the laws of Indiana. These laws should be enforced. Any one with a little knowledge of Indianapolis knows where this *ort of thing is going on. Is it possible the police and the prosecutor do not know? IF YOU WANT TO LIVE 'TILL SPRING mF you want to live to see the trees grow again, and to feel the balmy breeze* of spring, don’t run your automobile engine in a closed garage. Don’t run it for even three minutes without having the door or windows open. If you do, carbon monoxide will get you. The I nited States publie health service says so. You won’t even know you're dead until you wake up in Heaven, or somewhere, but it’ll be a good story for the papers! The public health service has found that the exhaust of even a twenty-three-horsepower automobile engine discharges about otic and one-half cubic feet of deadly carbon monoxide gas per minute. In less than three minutes the air of the ordinary small trarave would be fatal. The gas is colorless, tasteless and almost odorless. It kills by paralyzing the respiratory organs. The victim loses conscious :icss gradually. Often he does not realize what is happening to him. But. if he does, he is usually unable to move hand or foot to save himself. There is little danger in the summer, because garage doors are always left open, but in the cold weather, when the driver wants to warm up his engine, or when he wants to do a little work on the car indoors, the number of deaths from poison gas

mounts up alarmingly. Beware; Open your doors and freeze. It’s better than being utterly and permanently cold. WIIAT FOLKS LIKE fv Y and HAT interests people? Some smart chaps have figured out rwj answers to thi* question and made fortunes. A lot of wiser; hoi mors have thought they knew the answer. I,!vc lost their all before they discovered otherwise. A man who didn't make a fortune, yet who didn’t lose anything by knowing what folks like was Theodore Roosevelt Sr., who, in I*o4, organized a campaign which raised money to found th* Bronx Zoo. The zoo celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary the other day. and it' managers estimated that since T. R. started the show, it had furnish 'd .amusement for forty million visitor*. There were a lot of duplicate* in that number, naturally, but it indicates what a lot of folks were interested in wild animals. Millions and millions have stood by the hour in front of the monkey cage and watched the queer creatures do their stuff. Millions gazed in awe at the nineteen-foot python from .South An ri 'H. and other millions at the pigmy hippo, and at the bears, and the giant ant eater, and tlie lion*, and the <•!.•- pliant*. Why? Well, for one thing, the zoo gave them relief from the monotony of civilization. It stirred the inner man’s curiosity, carried him—or her—to distant lands, to strange and wondrous climes, to far-away smells and colors and forms. It was different. Which seems to be what interests folks. WHAT’S THlS—what’s this? A man in Chicago has been married to the same woman for fifty-five consecutive years! THE ALIENISTS have discovered the “mongoloid.” a being that is the limit of idiocy. The age demanded the discovery. A PUBLIC librarian reports finding a piece, of bacon that was being used as a bookmark. Avery good idea. If adopted generally, more persons undoubtedly will bring the books home. A SCIENTIST predicts that five hundred thousand persons are about to go crazy, probably having the Thanksgiving football games in mind. AN OMAHA poet answered his wife’s divorce complaint in verse. The court rejected it. ‘‘But not necessarily because it lacked merit.” as the publishers naively say.

Father Paul, over at Oraymoor, near here, will refute both charges. He might serve as the original of the nrm who dwelt by the side of the road and became a friend to man. lie knows from his own rich experience Upon the one hand is the fact of more than a dozen years, during which not a single man in need has been turned from the door.

(rives Them Shelter The police In Peekskill used to be pretty bald on tramps, and many have they chased out of town at nightfall. Father Paul, head of the :ittle colony of Franciscan monks at (Iravtr.oor began giving them shelter Each man received supper, bed and breakfast, a quarter in his pocket to start him on the road and no questions or advice unless he invited it. Word about Father Paul's place spread throughout the jungles of hobodom More men began applying for hospitality, and need arose for larger shelters. The friendly old host inspired his quests with the idea. They >r ,,- stavi q a few days at a time to help with the work. Those who were carpenters or stone mamis put in a turn at their trade. Others used the pick and shovel to clear ground. or helped with the lift and hauling. A ird**n and vineyard lias been planted. *111:111 Wage Paid Wages are paid now.

PENT WAR r GOING ON IN WASHINGTON Conflict May Spread to j Other Cities of the Country, Times Washington Rure.au, 1322 Sew York Ave. irrra ASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—A \\/J “rent war" is on in Washing- | 1 ton, which may be the forerunner of a movement in other cities. Tenants in the District of Columbia, who hold themselves in need of protection from landlords, are protesting the opinion of the District Court of Appeals ruling that there is no longer a housing emergency in the capital and that there was no constitutional basis for Congress having extended the life of the district rent commission to May, 1925. The fight will lie carried to the Supreme Court. Ever since the hectic days of 1917. when war workers tramped the streets of the capital like hoboes, looking for places to rest their weary heads, a “housing emergency” has been acknowledged In Washington During those days, the “apart merits for rent” columns were read more eagerly than the first page war news, and smart apartment hunters used to watch for death and accident news to get first chance at a place to live where someone else had passed on to a letter and less crowde.l world. Designed to Protect

Tiio Ball rent act was designed and passed to protect tenants from evictions and unwarranted raises in rents and the excuse for It was “tHe existing emergency.” Within the last two or three years there has been great building activity in Washington. Apartment la us-' after apartment house has made its bow ar.d offered its quarters at rents which have sometime.* been paid and often been declined with thanks Landlords, particularly within th' last year, have pointed to the many vne mi apartments now existing as pr< ■ sos the fact that an emergency no longer existed. Mr t.'laru Sears Taylor, member "f the rent commission, has steadfastly maintained that these apartments remained empty because the rentals were too hlqh. She give it is her opinion that not enough adding had yet ben dare to make it more profit iblo for landlords to tout Ht cheaper figures rather than to keep many apartments un- ' '• 1 ted A rag her explanation of the *tt■l ' lon has been that bankers in the f;*?riot, of Columbia have been, wlthn the last t-vo or thr-‘e years, “ utting down tight on Fms for ' wilding apartment houses Bonds ' ;• the*e Live been sold outside Washington on tho basis •-f such inMated values that Investors may •and to lose a let If rentals fall.

Firesides By HAL COCHRAN In the chilly nights we’re turning to the open fireplace burning, and we find a heap of comfort buried there. As the wooden ash we're Rifting we will find our minds a drifting to the bubbles we've erected In the air. Monster logs in dullness blazy make our thoughts a trifle hazy. We imagine things quite mystic, so It seems. IZttle sparks that spit and flicker always carry us much quicker than most anything unto the land of dreams. Through the flames. In different places, we can pick familiar faces as they’re formed in spurts of yellow, blue and red. Then a sparklet disarranges and the flaming picture changes. Even 1 scene that's born is quite as quickly dead. Cozy fireside, how we love you; how wo drink the heat above you. And it seems that with the mystic touch you're blest. There Is comfort in your embers and your worshiper remembers that you’re calling, when he's needing of a rest. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) Nature Laplanders like to drink smoked rain water.
